Welcome back to the Studio Workshop!

This week we're back to show you a great method of doing rust effects on your miniatures. This is only one of several methods of painting rust effects and we'll be posting several more covering other methods and styles in the coming weeks. This technique is great because the dry pigments result in a very nice textured rust effect on your miniature which looks very convincing even upon close inspection. It's recommend that you do this step after you've done your final varnish as varnishing over these pigments will rob the rust effect of any texture it had.

Very nice tip. Might use it myself on some plaguebearers.

I have a problem with this tutorial.

Once the pigment dries, it is just pigment on a model. It comes off easily.

He does not mention a way to fix the pigment to the model.

I think a lot of people just use a blast of isopropanol

I just reseal it with varnish (And actually his OP says that)

We'l be releasing a few additional videos on other ways of doing rust effects. One of these includes a pure paint method and another is a mixture of pigment and paint.

With this technique you can certainly use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to do a better job of fixing the pigment to the mini. I've actually used this technique on a large Nurgle daemon prince and the pigment stays on just fine even with handling.
